Banana Cake Recipe

My sister HIGHLY recommends this banana cake recipe so I have included in the recipe section for you to use.

It was found at www.exclusivelyfood.com.au

This recipe makes a moist, dense banana cake with a smooth cream cheese icing. The cake doesn't rise much so it has a nice flat top for presentation. We served the cake at room temperature and topped each slice with a little passionfruit pulp.

Preheat oven to 160 degrees Celsius fan-forced. If you don't have a fan-forced oven, preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.Grease and line a 22cm diameter springform pan.Place butter, sugar, banana, vanilla and eggs in a food processor.Process for about 2 minutes. Scrape down sides of processor. Add buttermilk and pulse to combine.Sift flour, salt (if using) and bicarbonate of soda together into a large bowl. Add flour mixture to food processor and process untiljust combined.Pour batter into prepared tin.Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until a skewer or knife inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean.Leave cake to cool on a wire rack.Spread cooled cake with cream cheese icing. Store cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

About Me

In January 2010 my husband and I moved, with our three small children, to South East Asia to work as volunteers at the ZOE Children's Homes.
In my past life (before children) I was a primary school teacher.
I enjoy catching up with friends via email or meeting for a coffee. I have loved every country I have been to so far and I enjoy planning a trip just as much as taking it. Never far away from a sale, market or op shop; I love to hunt for bargains- Thailand is perfect for this!
I am a self confessed sweet tooth, enjoying anything chocolatey. I find it much more fun to bake than cook and get enjoyment out of making cookies, cakes and desserts. And finally, I love planning parties- especially for my kids!
